hunt for RSS reader
Monday, July 12th, 2004…or aggregator, you might say.

As most of us know, MSIE is loaded with security holes. It’s not all too buggy, but it’s insecure. All the security experts nowadays warn against the use of IE. Well, IE isn’t a bad thing if you keep up with all the security patches, firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. But still, we’re still finding more security holes everyday. That scares me. So, I’ve been sticking with Mozilla based browsers – namely, Phoenix, Firebird, and now Firefox. (Or Firepanda, if you use Fireanything plug-in.)
That’s fine and dandy for the most part. But recently, I was thinking, it’s not too wise of idea to be using applications like RssReader, which is based on .NET framework (not too bad) and MSIE (bad bad bad).
Well, fine. So I’ll make a switch. There are plenty of non-.NET/MSIE based aggregators around. Yes, sure. But most of them are JAVA based. I don’t hate JAVA, especially as a user of Azureus. But, I was hoping to get Mozilla based RSS Reader. And so far, I’ve only found side-bar RSS reader plug-in, which isn’t powerful enough in my opinion.
Anyway, for now, my choices are RSS-Owl and Opera’s built-in RSS system. If anyone out there know of any good reader that you really recommend (especially if it’s something like Thunderbird add-on), then let me know. I’d be eager to try it out.
